The focus of this discussion is the impact on ketones, even in the presence of a high carbohydrate diet. i.e. as a drug people consume.
It is a really interesting area of research. A metabolite can function like a epigenetic drug
25% of these trails are just using supplementation, not dietary interventions.

You’d have to have been starved of oxygen at birth to take advice from a YouTube video with a thumbnail like that
There seems to be a correlation between years in academia and research and inability to design a good presentation
That isn’t the youtube thumbnail, I just pulled out the most interesting slide
